Seedlings of Trigonella foenum-graecum were treated with four heavy metal salts (CdCl2, CoCl2, K2Cr2O7 and NiCl2) to study the effect of heavy metals on growth and diosgenin production. It was found that CdCl2 increased diosgenin production up to 40-fold and CoCl2 increased diosgenin production up to 41-fold at concentrations which did not affect growth significantly. But K2Cr2O7 and NiCl2 were toxic to growth and inhibited diosgenin production. Effect of exogenously applied methyl jasmonate (MeJa) and calcium
(Ca2+) on diosgenin production in seedlings of T. foenum-graecum was also investigated. MeJa enhanced the production of diosgenin. Maximum increase (10.5-fold) was found at 100 μL L−l concentration of MeJa. To study the role of Ca2+ on diosgenin production, seedlings of T. foenum-graecum were treated with a promoter of Ca2+ influx (calcium ionophore A23187), calcium depleted medium, Ca2+ channel blocker (verapamil) and antagonist (LaCl3), a divalent cation chelator (EGTA) and modulator of calcium release (caffeine). All the treatments were compared with a
control containing 220 mg L−l concentration of CaCl2. The results suggest that the increase in cytosolic Ca2+ has an inhibitory role on diosgenin production. However, a calcium chelator or Ca2+ channel inhibitors could be used to elicit diosgenin production in this plant. 相似文献

Background
Various species of genus Trigonella are important from medical and culinary aspect. Among these, Trigonella foenum-graecum is commonly grown as a vegetable. This anti-diabetic herb can lower blood glucose and cholesterol levels. Another species, Trigonella caerulea is used as food in the form of young seedlings. This herb is also used in cheese making. However, little is known about the genetic variation present in these species. In this report we describe the use of ISSR and RAPD markers to study genetic diversity in both, Trigonella foenum-graecum and Trigonella caerulea. 相似文献3.

Genetic diversity among 49 wheat varieties (37 durum and 12 bread wheat) was assayed using 32 microsatellites representing
34 loci covering almost the whole wheat genome. The polymorphic information content (PIC) across the tested loci ranged from
0 to 0.88 with average values of 0.57 and 0.65 for durum and bread wheat respectively. B-genome had the highest mean number
of alleles (10.91) followed by A genome (8.3) whereas D genome had the lowest number (4.73). The correlation between PIC and
allele number was significant in all genome groups accounting for 0.87, 074 and 0.84 for A, B and D genomes respectively,
and over all genomes, the correlation was higher in tetraploid (0.8) than in hexaploid wheat varieties (0.5). The cluster
analysis discriminated all varieties and clearly divided the two ploidy levels into two separate clusters that reflect the
differences in genetic diversity within each cluster. This study demonstrates that microsatellites markers have unique advantages
compared to other molecular and biochemical fingerprinting techniques in revealing the genetic diversity in Syrian wheat varieties
that is crucial for wheat improvement. 相似文献

Inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were used to analyse genetic diversity of Swertia chirayita genotypes collected from the temperate Himalayas of India. Allied species of Swertia chirayita were used in the study as outliers. Nineteen UBC primers generated a total of 315 ISSR bands, revealing 98.7 % polymorphism
among the genotypes assayed. This was reduced to 42.5 % when the outliers were excluded. The results revealed a high genetic
diversity within the genotypes. 相似文献

Twenty populations of kale (Brassica oleracea var. acephala L.) selected from 127 populations in terms of yield and leaf quality characteristics as superior types using weight-based
ranking method from the Black Sea Region of Turkey were evaluated at the DNA level using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA
(RAPD) markers compared to some morphological characters. The seven primers selected from 100 decamers used generated 110
bands, of which 60 (54.5%) were polymorphic. Jaccard’s genetic distances were calculated and dendrogram was generated using
the UPGMA algorithm. The dendrogram obtained was classified into three main groups and four subgroups. The accessions showed
a limited clustering as compared to morphological characters such as the number of leaves, intentation of the leaf margin,
leaf and midrib color, and thickness of midrib, than geographical characteristics. Leaf color and midrib thickness characters
clustered in the same group as OR49 and G18 accessions; S20, G6, and OR37 accessions, respectively.

Eight Saltol quantitative trait locus (QTL) linked simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers of rice (Oryza sativa L.) were used to study the polymorphism of this QTL in 142 diverse rice genotypes that comprised salt tolerant as well as sensitive genotypes. The SSR profiles of the eight markers generated 99 alleles including 20rare alleles and 16 null alleles. RM8094 showed the highest number (13) of alleles followed by RM3412 (12), RM562 (11), RM493 (9) and RM1287 (8) while as, RM10764 and RM10745 showed the lowest number (6) of alleles. Based on the highest number of alleles and PIC value (0.991), we identified RM8094 as suitable marker for discerning salt tolerant genotypes from the sensitive ones. Based upon the haplotype analysis using FL478 as a reference (salt tolerant genotypes containing Saltol QTL), we short listed 68 rice genotypes that may have at least one allele of FL478 haplotype. Further study may confirm that some of these genotypes might have Saltol QTL and can be used as alternative donors in salt tolerant rice breeding programmes. 相似文献

This article presents changes in concentrations of d-pinitol (and other cyclitols as well as low molecular weight carbohydrates) in vegetative and reproductive organs of fenugreek (Trigonella foenumgraecum L.) during an entire plant growing period. d-Pinitol was the major cyclitol in all tested organs, representing 43–94% of total cyclitols and 2–77% of total soluble carbohydrates. The highest concentration of d-pinitol was found in pods (14–23 mg g?1 of dry weight, DW), lower in leaves and stems (5–20 and 9–10 mg g?1 DW, respectively), and the lowest in maturing seeds (2–5 mg g?1 DW). Although maturing seeds accumulate α-d-galactosides of d-pinitol (galactosyl pinitols, up to 6.6 mg g?1 DW), the major storage sugars were raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs, 65.37 mg g?1 DW). Both RFOs and galactosyl pinitols are hydrolyzed during seed germination, releasing sucrose and d-pinitol, respectively. Accumulation of free galactose was not detected. Owing to the high concentration of d-pinitol (up to 23.70 mg g?1 DW) and low concentration of soluble sugars, developing pods seem to be the best source of d-pinitol. 相似文献

A set of 30 accessions of five Curcuma species-C. latifolia, C. malabarica, C. manga and C. raktakanta and 13 morphotypes (identified on the basis of morphological markers) of C. longa conserved in the In Vitro Genebank at National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources, New Delhi, were subjected to RAPD analysis. Of the 200 RAPD primers
screened, 21 polymorphic primers were selected for further study. Mean genetic similarities based on Jaccard’s similarity
coefficient ranged from 0.18 to 0.86 in accessions of cultivated species, i.e., C. longa and from 0.25 to 0.86 in wild species. The dendrogram derived from the RAPD data corroborated the morphological classification
of the morphotypes. The efficiency of individual RAPD primers was also compared; primers OPC-20, OPO-06, OPC-01 and OPL-03
were adjudged highly informative in discriminating the germplasm of Curcuma. 相似文献

Access to genetic diversity is essential for any progress in adapting linseed (Linum usitatissimum subsp. usitatissimum L.) cultivation to changing environmental conditions or to the changing market needs. An attempt has been made in the present study to assess genetic diversity in 96 genotypes of linseed including varieties, landraces and exotic material. A total of 38 SSR primers amplified 153 alleles with 4.0 alleles per marker locus. The number of alleles ranged from 2 to 15 and the observed polymorphism ranged from 50 to 100%. Average genetic dissimilarity ranged from 2 to 50%. In order to analyze the efficiency for unambiguous identification of linseed germplasm, various statistical measures, viz., number of genotyping patterns, polymorphism information content, resolving power, discrimination power, probability of identity and probability of random identity, identified a set comprising of primers LU7, LU27, LU25, LU20 and LU31 (or LU637) for DNA fingerprinting of linseed germplasm. UPGMA cluster analysis showed that all genotypes could be grouped into four main clusters. Cluster 2 was the largest consisting of mainly landraces, whereas, Cluster 4 was the smallest. Cluster 1 consisted of mainly the released cultivars. Cluster 3 and Cluster 4 were smaller clusters and consisted of exotic genotypes. Principal co-ordinate analysis further substantiated the UPGMA clustering patterns of the observed genetic relationship. To explain 70–80% variability, 17–23 PCOs were needed, whereas 70 components were needed to explain the whole variability in the linseed material under study. Analysis of molecular variance indicated that most of the genetic variation is owing to the individuals within single population, whereas grouping of linseed material into varieties, landraces and exotics accounted for nearly 10% of the total genetic variation. The utility of SSR markers in diversity assessment and cultivar identification is discussed. 相似文献

Relationships among <Emphasis Type="Italic">Leymus</Emphasis> species assessed by RAPD markers 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The DNA genetic diversity of 40 accessions of genus Leymus was analyzed by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. A total of 352 products were amplified by 34 10-mer arbitrary
primers, among which 337 products (95.74 %) were found to be polymorphic. 5–14 polymorphic bands were amplified by each polymorphic
primer, with an average of 9.91 bands. The data of 352 RAPD bands were used to generate Jaccard’s similarity coefficients
and to construct a dendrogram by means of UPGMA. Great genetic diversity in genus Leymus was observed, the genetic diversity among the different species more abundant than that of the different accessions, and
the different accessions in a species or the species from the same areas were clustered together. 相似文献

Pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma (PUS), also called malignant fibrous histiocytoma, is a soft tissue sarcoma which occurs predominantly in the extremities. Its origin is a poorly defined mesenchymal cell, which derives to histiocytic and fibroblastic cells. The patient, a 58 year-old man, presented a lesion located in the forearm composed by spindle cells and multinucleated giant cells, which expressed vimentin and adopted a histological pattern formed by irregular-swirling fascicles. Cells were cultured in vitro and a new cell line was established. We characterized this new cell line by histological analyses, cytogenetics (using G-bands and spectral karyotype technique) and cytometric analyses. Cells were grown in culture for more than 100 passages. They had elongated or polygonal morphology. The cells presented a saturation rate of 70,980 cells/cm2, a plating efficiency of 21.5% and a mitotic index of 21 mitoses per field. The cell line was tumorigenic in nude mice. The ploidy study using flow cytometry revealed an aneuploid peak with a DNA index of 1.43. A side population was detected, demonstrating the presence of stem and progenitor cells. Cytogenetics showed a hypotriploid range with many clonal unbalanced rearrangements. Loss of p53 gene was evidenced by MLPA. We describe, for the first time, the characterization of a new human PUS TP53-null cell line called mfh-val2. Mfh-val2 presents a wide number of applications as a TP53-null cell line and a great interest in order to characterize genetic alterations influencing the oncogenesis or progression of PUS and to advance in the biological investigation of this tumor. 相似文献

The Ashe magnolia (Magnolia ashei) is a deciduous small tree most noted for its large 1–2 foot long leaves and fragrant creamy white flowers. Although the species is adapted to and used in landscapes in many parts of the U.S., it is endemic only to Northwest Florida where it is limited to ten counties growing on undisturbed bluffs and ravine banks. The populations are highly fragmented and are threatened by degradation of habitat, leading the species to be listed as endangered in the state of Florida. SSR markers were developed to determine the genetic diversity of wild populations of M. ashei in order to guide long-term conservation strategies. 18 marker loci identified a total of 82 alleles that were used to characterize allelic diversity of M. ashei from 11 wild populations, 14 cultivated sources, five accessions of M. macrophylla, and three interspecific hybrids. Results indicated a higher than expected level of heterozygosity within populations, and a clear distinction between Eastern and Western populations; conservation efforts should therefore focus on maintaining these distinct groups in corresponding ex situ seed orchards to counteract pressures due to overcollection, pollution, and loss of habitat due to development. Clustering of individuals was similar using several analytical methods, indicating that despite relatively small sample sizes, our analysis is a valid reflection of the diversity among and relationships between these populations. 相似文献

Increased neuronal excitability causes seizures with debilitating symptoms. Effective and noninvasive treatments are limited for easing symptoms, partially due to the complexity of the disorder and lack of knowledge of specific molecular faults. An unexplored, novel target for seizure therapeutics is the cGMP/protein kinase G (PKG) pathway, which targets downstream K+ channels, a mechanism similar to Retigabine, a recently FDA-approved antiepileptic drug. Our results demonstrate that increased PKG activity decreased seizure duration in C. elegans utilizing a recently developed electroconvulsive seizure assay. While the fly is a well-established seizure model, C. elegans are an ideal yet unexploited model which easily uptakes drugs and can be utilized for high-throughput screens. In this study, we show that treating the worms with either a potassium channel opener, Retigabine or published pharmaceuticals that increase PKG activity, significantly reduces seizure recovery times. Our results suggest that PKG signaling modulates downstream K+ channel conductance to control seizure recovery time in C. elegans. Hence, we provide powerful evidence, suggesting that pharmacological manipulation of the PKG signaling cascade may control seizure duration across phyla. 相似文献

Fusarium wilt of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum Mill.) caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Sacc.) W. C. Snyder and H. N. Hans (Fol.), is most serious and versatile pathogen. Chemical control of disease is not satisfactory and biological control is an attractive
and potential alternative to the use of chemicals to control fusarium wilt of tomato. No any bioagent is universally effective
everywhere therefore, search for potential biocontrol agent is continuous process and mandatory for several and individual
ecological niches. In this experiment biocontrol efficacy of five species of Aspergillus and five species of Trichoderma were evaluated in vitro against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici. In both the experiments (dual culture and culture filtrates) T. harzianum was found to be highly effective against the isolates of Fol. followed by A. niger biocontrol potential of A. terreus is least among all the isolates tested. Culture filtrates obtained from A. luchuensis exerted least inhibition of Fol. The most sensitive isolate of Fol. against all the antagonists tested was identified as IIVR-2 (Fol. 9). Inherent diversity among Fol. isolates, from different tomato growing regions in India, was determined using RAPD primers. The genetic similarity coefficients
ranged from 0.20 to 0.96, indicating that no any two or more isolates were 100% similar. RAPD profiles revealed up to 20%
genetic diversity among ten isolates of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici. 相似文献

Biotransformation of flavonoids using Escherichia coli harboring nucleotide sugar-dependent uridine diphosphate-dependent glycosyltransferases (UGTs) commonly results in the production
of a glucose conjugate because most UGTs are specific for UDP-glucose. The Arabidopsis enzyme AtUGT78D2 prefers UDP-glucose as a sugar donor and quercetin as a sugar acceptor. However, in vitro, AtUGT78D2 could
use UDP-N-acetylglucosamine as a sugar donor, and whole cell biotransformation of quercetin using E. coli harboring AtUGT78D2 produced quercetin 3-O-N-acetylglucosamine. In order to increase the production of quercetin 3-O-N-acetylglucosamine via biotransformation, two E. coli mutant strains deleted in phosphoglucomutase (pgm) or glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (galU) were created. The galU mutant produced up to threefold more quercetin 3-O-N-acetylglucosamine than wild type, resulting in the production of 380-mg/l quercetin 3-O-N-acetylglucosamine and a negligible amount of quercetin 3-O-glucoside. These results show that construction of bacterial strains for the synthesis of unnatural flavonoid glycosides
is possible through rational selection of the nucleotide sugar-dependent glycosyltransferase and engineering of the nucleotide
sugar metabolic pathway in the host strain. 相似文献

A temperature-sensitive mutant of Capsicum chinense, sy-2, shows a normal developmental phenotype when grown above 24°C. However, when grown at 20°C, sy-2 exhibits developmental defects, such as chlorophyll deficiency and shrunken leaves. To understand the underlying mechanism
of this temperature-dependent response, phenotypic characterization and genetic analysis were performed. The results revealed
abnormal chloroplast structures and cell collapse in leaves of the sy-2 plants grown at 20°C. Moreover, an excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) resulting in cell death was detected
in the chlorophyll-deficient sectors of the leaves. However, the expression profile of the ROS scavenging genes did not alter
in sy-2 plants grown at 20°C. A further analysis of fatty acid content in the leaves showed the impaired pathway of linoleic acid
(18:2) to linolenic acid (18:3). Additionally, the Cafad7 gene was downregulated in sy-2 plants. This change may lead to dramatic physiological disorder and alteration of leaf morphology in sy-2 plants by losing low-temperature tolerance. Genetic analysis of an F2 population from a cross between C. chinense ‘sy-2’ and wild-type C. chinense ‘No. 3341’ showed that the sy-2 phenotype is controlled by a single recessive gene. Molecular mapping revealed that the sy-2 gene is located at a genomic region of the pepper linkage group 1, corresponding to the 300 kb region of the Ch1_scaffold
00106 in tomato chromosome 1. Candidate genes in this region will reveal the identity of sy-2 and the underlying mechanism of the temperature-dependent plant response. 相似文献

A sum of 48 accessions of physic nut, Jatropha curcas L. were analyzed to determine the genetic diversity and association between geographical origin using RAPD-PCR markers. Eight
primers generated a total of 92 fragments with an average of 11.5 amplicons per primer. Polymorphism percentages of J. curcas accessions for Selangor, Kelantan, and Terengganu states were 80.4, 50.0, and 58.7%, respectively, with an average of 63.04%.
Jaccard’s genetic similarity co-efficient indicated the high level of genetic variation among the accessions which ranged
between 0.06 and 0.81. According to UPGMA dendrogram, 48 J. curcas accessions were grouped into four major clusters at coefficient level 0.3 and accessions from same and near states or regions
were found to be grouped together according to their geographical origin. Coefficient of genetic differentiation (Gst) value of J. curcas revealed that it is an outcrossing species. 相似文献

Terminalia trees are being over-exploited because of their medicinal and economical importance leading to loss of valuable genetic resources.
For sustainable utilization and conservation, assessment of genetic diversity therefore becomes imperative. We report a comprehensive
first study on estimation and analysis of genetic variation through Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), inter simple
sequence repeat polymorphism (ISSR) and random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) across three species of Terminalia. The study included (i) characterization of genetic diversity at interspecific level, and (ii) comparison of efficiency of
the marker systems. That the three species are genetically distinct was revealed by all the three marker systems as unique
DNA fingerprints were obtained. This led to identification of several species-specific amplification products. Further analysis
helped in species-wise clustering. The species specific bands obtained from the present investigation can be used as diagnostic
markers to identify the raw materials for herbal drug preparations for authentication purposes. 相似文献
